Be it known that I, EnNnsT F. Winona- HOLDT, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and usefulimproveinent in Ooncrete-W'all Construction, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming-part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in concrete-Wall constructions, the object being to use permanent molds, preferably in the form of tiling, which forniparts of the finished wall. Heretofore'it has been generally common to erect temporary molds, of lumber, in which the concrete is set the mold or false work is removed.

-Figure 1 18 a perspective VlBWShOWlIlg a portion of a wall built according to my 1mprovement, and Fig. 2 is a detail view of a modified form of tiling.

in the drawings, 1 indicates a foundation which may be of any suitable form, in which foundation are anchored rods 2, said rods being preferably arranged vertically. 3 represents tiles shown as being H-shaped in form, said tiles bein arranged horizontally, so that their legs embrace "the rods 2 and form retaining-walls for the cement. The cross pieces between the legs of the tiles are preferably recessed, shown, so that if these crosspieces lie in vertical alinement there will be lateral communication between the spaces to be filled vnlth concrete. I prefer, however, to have the tiles break joints with each other, as shown in Figul. The cross-pieces, which are marked 4 in the drawings, may serve to support horizontally-disposed tie-rods '5 in position. These tie-rods may be connected, if desired, in any suitable manner to the vertical rods attheir points of intersection; but I believe this to be unnecessary in practice, as both the horizontal and vertical rods are embedded in approximately the center of the I body of cement, which tends to hold them in proper relation to each other. It will also be obvious that the horizontal rods can be arranged on one or both sides, of the vertical rods or interwoven with respect to the'vertical rods.

In Fig. 2 I have shown tile 2*, having vertical corrugations or ribs 2 on the inner surafter which and when the concrete is face of their legs, whereby said legs, which are exposed in service, will be more iirmly keyed in position.

In constructing a wall in accordance with my improvement the vertical rods are first appropriately embedded in the foundation, suitable means being provided, if said rods are ofany length, to properly support and space their upper ends apart. course of tiling is then laid in position and a horizontal rod placed on the cross-pieces thereof, after which a second course of tiling '15 arranged in place.

The cement may now be introduced into the spaces in the tiling and tamped in position. The horizontal rod The first may now-be placed on the cross-pieces of the I second course of tiling and the third course of tiling arranged in place, after which the coment may be tamped in place, this operation bein continued until the wall is completed.

v hile I have shown hi-shaped tiling as forming the permanent molds for the cement, it is obvious that the form of tiling may be varied at will to suit the different conditions. ,It will also be obvious that my improved construction is well adapted for use in connection with the building of chimneys or be appropriately curved and the horizontal bars will be in the form of rings of required diameter.

*I am aware that minor changes in the construction; arrangement, and combination on the several parts of my device can be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without in the least departing from the nature and principle of my invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is

The herein-described wall construction, the same comprising courses of tiling consisting of hollow blocks having alim'ng vertical open spaces, concrete material in said spaces, said tiling being so constructed that there is a smoke-stacks, in which event the tiling will lateral communication between the adj accnt tiles of each course, horizontally-disposed bars which are surrounded by the concrete that extends between the adjacent tiles of each course, .and vertically-disposed bars surrounded by the concrete material in the verticalspaces of the tiles; substantially as described.
